The CData ADO.NET Provider for Salesforce Data 360 implements two ADO.NET interfaces you can use to retrieve data from Salesforce Data 360: SalesforceData360DataAdapter and SalesforceData360DataReader objects. Whereas SalesforceData360DataAdapter objects retrieve a single result set of all the data that matches a query, SalesforceData360DataReader objects fetch data in subset increments as needed.

Using the SalesforceData360DataAdapter

Use the adapter's Fill method to retrieve data from the data source. An empty DataTable instance is passed as an argument to the Fill method. When the method returns, the DataTable instance is populated with the queried data. Note that the SalesforceData360DataAdapter is slower than the SalesforceData360DataReader because the Fill method needs to retrieve all data from the data source before returning.

The following example selects the Id and Name columns of the Account table:

C#

string connectionString = "InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;";

using (SalesforceData360Connection connection = new SalesforceData360Connection(connectionString)) {
  SalesforceData360DataAdapter dataAdapter = new SalesforceData360DataAdapter(
  "SELECT Id, Name FROM Account", connection);

  DataTable table = new DataTable();
  dataAdapter.Fill(table);

  Console.WriteLine("Contents of Account.");

  foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows) {
    Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", row["Id"], row["Name"]);
  }
}

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As String = "InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;"

Using connection As New SalesforceData360Connection(connectionString)
  Dim dataAdapter As New SalesforceData360DataAdapter("SELECT Id, Name FROM Account", connection)

  Dim table As New DataTable()
  dataAdapter.Fill(table)

  Console.WriteLine("Contents of Account.")

  For Each row As DataRow In table.Rows
    Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", row("Id"), row("Name"))
  Next
End Using
